Arianna Grace

Daughter of Santino Marella, Arianna Grace built her NXT identity around a “Miss NXT” persona, blending her real-life beauty pageant background with wrestling and portraying herself as the self-proclaimed beauty queen of the brand. A torn ACL in October 2022 sidelined her for a year, but she returned with renewed purpose, and at TNA No Surrender 2026, Grace defeated Lei Ying Lee to capture the TNA Knockouts World Championship — becoming the first woman of South Asian descent to win a major championship in a big wrestling company. In early 2026, she joined Lexis King’s BirthRight stable, a faction of second-generation WWE wrestlers.

Grace emerged victorious from the WWE Women’s Speed tournament, with the finals taking place on the June 23rd edition of NXT on The CW, where she defeated Izzi Dame. The former TNA Knockouts World Champion is now set to challenge Wren Sinclair for the WWE Women’s Speed Championship on June 28th at NXT The Great American Bash.
